NAIL POLISH MARBLING TECHNIQUE Supplies Needed:

(I could go on and on…)Īnd with the seemingly limitless color selection in polish now a days, there is sure to be a color scheme to your liking. Or you could marble a carafe and two glasses as a drinking water set for the guest room.

It would be a fun technique for bridal shower favors, or making simple jewelry boxes at a birthday party for your daughter. The options are endless! I used this nail polish marbling technique on glass jars, metal bowls, wooden gift tags, and papier-maché boxes. I did a bunch of experimenting and found that nail polish and water offer up an extremely easy way to marble just about anything you desire - from glass to wood to metal to cardboard. The polish really sticks! Well, I don’t have any furniture pieces needing a new look but I wondered if the same materials could be used on non-furniture, non-slick surfaced items. Upon reading my DIY magazine last month, I was really excited at the tutorial for using nail polish to marble slick-surface furniture. Images and text by Amy Christie for Design Mom
